savage clone: i will edit to give you credit, didn't notice your post. beat me to it!

there's some confusion because there's sixties dream syndicate movement/collective with young, conrad, cale, etc. and there was a jangle pop band from california circa late 70's/early 80's also called the dream syndicate who released albums such as days of wine and roses.

i thihnk there's big confusion between noise and dissonant/discordant rock.

Sorry, I promise to behave.

To me there are two different kinds of noise:
distortion noise
distortion free noise

noise is unstructured sounds that to a mojoirty of people is unpleasant. So it does not have to be loud to be noise, just free of all forms of structures. By this definition some of Derek Bailey's stuff could be considered noise. The idea of basing an entire genre of music to distortion noise kind of jolts me because you can only come up with so many sounds. Wich brings me to this point:

Recorded noise sucks! See it live!

I second that.

derek bailey is not noise.

Well,no derek bailey is not noise but he has worked with people who are noise.

And this brings us to..............

but his style follows the deff.

Niku Dorei "Genital Torture"

sissy spacek - scissors




wolf eyes and anthony braxton - black vomit (victoriaville fest 2005)

I'm following this thread with interest as I don't own any noise LPs, although I like the bits I've heard by Leslie Keffer and Alchemical Burn.

So maybe these aren't the best, but they are favorites.

Whitehouse - Dedicated to Peter Kurten (super surprised no one listed this)


Fe-Mail - Skylubb Fra Haelvete


Sudden Infant - Invocation of the Aural Slave Gods


Emil Beaulieu - Anti Performance

Pat Metheny - Zero Tolerance For Silence

DANIEL MENCHE legions in the walls

Yeah, that too.

I'm not sure whether this falls under noise, electro-acoustic or dark ambient. In fact dark ambient and electro-acoustic are quite similar I think, with a lot of relevant and related points between them; so I'm just going to lump this album in here...

dark ambient is probably the worst genre of music of all time

worse than new age?

new age is THE worst

fine. now that you've got that off your chest, sit back and relax and listen to the music... or no, FEEL the music.
